6 hour layover in Dubai

Six hours is tight. Stay close to the airport, keep a firm return time, and pick one or two stops.

Ideas that fit

• Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa area
• Dubai Creek and Al Fahidi historic district

Rules of thumb

• Count the time from landing to leaving the terminal: immigration, bags and transport all take time.
• Be back at the airport well before your next boarding time. Check your airline's rule for connection check-in.
• Entry rules depend on your passport. Check the official transit visa page before you plan: GDRFA 48/96-hour transit visa.
